Notifications on Xfce4 desktop do not remain until timeout

Well, my first Arch question so here goes:

Running Arch with Xfce4 desktop. New install, everything works so far except when I insert a usb stick, it mounts fine and I can see the disk in thunar but I get no notification that the disk has been mounted and when I click the unmount icon in thunar for that disk, the notification telling me it is safe to remove the drive which should remain for the timeout I set, just flashes and only shows for a second or less. I have search online and in the forums but have not been able to find a solution. I do not have a notification area on the panel. The panel with the whisker menu is at the bottom of the screen and the notification "flash" is on the top, right of the screen in the color I set it (smoke). I can set color in settings and the color is respected, but the notification does not stay. The notifications do remain while setting the color and timeout in the settings dialog. The dismiss button that says "button" is visible and works to dismiss the test notification.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Just found this, seems a while ago someone else had the same issue but I would have thought it would be fixed by now: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10792
